Very nice for a cold rainy day in COVID-19 isolation. A teaspoon of ginger syrup has a salutary improvement on the drink. I may need another to be sure.

I originally took this drink to the BBC in a Thermos flask on a cold day, not quite the same on a warm and sunny afternoon but I agree a spoon of ginger syrup helps. With hindsight, I wouldn't use the 1:2:3:4 punch spec and prefer: 40ml Cognac, 30ml PX, 10ml Lemon juice, 60ml Apple juice and 4 dashes Peychaud's bitters.
